Destiny Hero Plasma's tentacles firmly bound the monstrous creature on Mizuchi's field! The pitch-black demon struggled with all its might, letting out strange and muffled groans, being pulled inch by inch towards Plasma, reluctantly absorbed into Plasma's broad bone wings.
"Destiny Hero Plasma can once per turn absorb one Monster on the opponent's field and gain half of its attack power!" Youyu declared.
[Destiny Hero Plasma, ATK 1900 → ATK 3400]
"You absorbed my Dark God?" Mizuchi said.
"Next is the effect of the 'Elemental Hero Captain Gold' in my hand," Youyu continued, "by discarding 'Captain Gold' from my hand to the Graveyard, I can add one 'Skyscraper' from my Deck to my hand."
The image of a hero in golden armor, cloaked in red, flashed briefly, and a Field Magic card popped out from the Deck. Youyu raised his arm, and the extra field slot on the Duel Disc ejected.
"Field Magic 'Skyscraper' activate!"
With the new field activated, the existing field naturally experienced a shock. The space cracked apart, and the mirrored surfaces around were covered in cracks and shattered.
The mirror-like platform beneath both sides seemed to have been smashed by heavy hammers, replaced by towering buildings. The skyscraper city rose from the ground, with a bright moon hanging in the sky.
"As long as Skyscraper is on the field, when 'Elemental Hero' battles a Monster with higher attack power, its attack increases by 1000 points," Youyu explained, "and with the new field activated, 'Infinite Demon-Slaying Mirror' disappears as well."
This means that even if Mizuchi finds a way to reclaim her "Dark God-DarkGod," she won't be able to Special Summon Dark God Tokens using the effect of "Infinite Demon-Slaying Mirror."
Of course, that is also assuming there's even a next turn.
"I activate the effect of 'Destiny Hero Malicious' in the Graveyard, banishing it from play to Special Summon another card with the same name from the Deck!"
[Destiny Hero Malicious, 800]
"Next, Magic Card 'Fusion' activate!" Youyu announced, "Fusion of 'Vision Hero Vyon,' 'Vision Hero Increase,' and 'Destiny Hero Malicious!' Three Monsters Fusion!
Fusion requirement: three 'Hero' Monsters!
Unlock the limit! The ultimate form of Vision Heroes——
——Vision Hero Trinity, Summon!!"
A beam of light crashed down, the hero clad in red heavy armor smashed the ground. He stood with hands on his waist, dangerous brilliance flashing in the red core on his chest.
[Vision Hero Trinity, ATK 2500]
"During the turn Vision Hero Trinity is Fusion Summoned, its attack power is doubled!"
[Vision Hero Trinity, ATK 2500 → ATK 5000]
Mizuchi's face changed drastically: "Attack power... five thousand?"
"And," Youyu smilingly added, "Vision Hero Trinity can attack up to three times against Monsters in one turn!"
Mizuchi's face lost all color.
Attack power of five thousand... and three consecutive hits?
This would definitely destroy her, right?
"Battle!" Youyu declared, "First is 'Destiny Hero Plasma' attacking the 'Dark God Token!'
Having absorbed the true form of Dark God, Plasma's attack power surpassed all these tokens. Furthermore, under Plasma's field suppression, all Monster effects of the Dark God were invalidated, meaning their 'cannot be destroyed by battle' resistance was also stripped away.
The first attack went through unhindered, and the Dark God Token was pulverized by blood arrows, exploding in place.
[Mizuchi, LP 2200 → LP 1800]
Mizuchi had three remaining Dark God Tokens, with Trinity having three attack counts remaining.
The final blow.
"Vision Hero Trinity attacking the Dark God Token!"
The crimson armor started operating, ultra-high temperature energy rippled in the core. A wave of golden light erupted, the super high concentration energy beam shooting straight at one of the Tokens!
But just as Trinity struck, Mizuchi's face went from panic to a sly grin.
"Flip Cover Card!" The card flipped before her, "Trap Card... Draining Shield!"
Youyu raised an eyebrow.
Draining Shield?
The shield radiating colorful brilliance blocked Mizuchi like a flowing cornea, Trinity's beam fiercely washed over the barrier, as Mizuchi laughed behind it: "Draining Shield negates the attack of one of your opponent's Monsters, then recovers Life Points equal to that Monster's attack power.
In other words, Trinity's attack this time is negated... and I can recover 5000 Life Points!"
[Mizuchi, LP 1800 → LP 6800]
Meanwhile, she seemed to finally abandon the lady-like demeanor held until now, revealing a 'Light of Destruction' style face.
"Hahaha, it seems you totally didn't expect this move, Duel King! Didn't you say you were going to defeat me this turn? Can you still say such things now?"
Youyu ignored her, "Vision Hero Trinity, continue attacking, second strike!"
Trinity's armor kept operating, the energy beam plowing burning cracks on the ground! Another Dark God Token was sliced through by the laser frontally, instantly exploding into fragments.
[Mizuchi, LP 6800 → LP 4800]
Two thousand damage should still be quite painful. Mizuchi felt the impact, her slender body swaying like a flower in the wind.
However, she only curled the corner of her mouth: "Hm, this level, did you really use your strength?"
Youyu still did not respond: "Trinity's attack, third strike!"
The Vision Hero acted without pause, the laser blasted out once more. Another Dark God Token turned to flying ashes in the strong beam impact, reduced to debris.
[Mizuchi, LP 4800 → LP 2800]
The last Dark God Token remains, and Mizuchi still has 2800 Life Points, but Youyu's attacks seem to have come to a halt.
"What's wrong? I still have 2800 Life Points, Duel King." Mizuchi sneered arrogantly, "Aren't you trying to convince me?
Didn't you say you were going to take me down this turn? Is this all you can do?"
She was certain that Youyu had no more moves, taunting him with arrogance, until she glimpsed a slight smile appear at the corner of Youyu's mouth.
Mizuchi: "!"
Could it be that my taunting backfired?
"Quick-Play Magic," Youyu slowly drew another card from his hand, "Frontline Fusion." (Anime Card)
Mizuchi: "!?"
Frontline Fusion? A Fusion Card I've never heard of...
"This card can only be activated during your Battle Phase. Send Fusion Materials from your hand and field to the graveyard for a Fusion Summon."
Youyu revealed two cards from his hand.
"I fuse 'Elemental Hero Sparkman' and 'Elemental Hero Avian'!
Fusion conditions: Two 'Hero' Normal Monsters! Fusion Summon—
—Elemental Hero Grandman (Grandmerge)!!!"
Amidst the swirling vortex of fusion, a burst of bright light ensued, energy beams pierced the heavens and earth. Golden currents tore through the light curtain, a Hero clad in magnificent armor, equipped with gun barrels spewing electricity on his forearms, and adorned with pure wide wings on his back.
[Elemental Hero Grandman, Attack Power 0]
"The attack power of Grandman increases by the combined levels of the Fusion Material monsters multiplied by 300 points," Youyu explained, "Sparkman's level is four, Avian's level is three, totaling seven, so attack power increases by 2100."
[Elemental Hero Grandman, Attack Power 0 → Attack Power 2100]
Seeing the posture of the fused Hero, Mizuchi let out a long sigh of relief, her chest heaving dramatically.
"Heh, I thought it was something impressive, but an Elemental Hero with attack power of 2100 can't defeat the remaining Dark God on my side..."
"Grandman, attack the last Dark God Token!"
"What?" Mizuchi's heart stopped again as she raised her brows, "Using a Hero with lower attack power..."
"Did you forget?" Youyu smiled slightly, pointing to the field where the two stood.
"This field... Skyscraper!?" Mizuchi was startled, "Damn..."
"With Skyscraper, when your 'Elemental Hero' battles a monster with lower attack power than yours, you can raise its attack power by 1000 points!"
[Elemental Hero Grandman, Attack Power 2100 → Attack Power 3100]
With merely a 100-point attack power advantage, it created an insurmountable barrier. Grandman spread his white wings wide, his body almost swallowed by golden electric light, like an electromagnetic railgun, charging and piercing the pitch-black beast, blasting it into fragments.
[Mizuchi, LP 2800 → LP 2700]
Mizuchi gritted her teeth: "To make it this far with attacks... But even so, you still can't finish me off this turn..."
"Grandman's effect." Youyu calmly stated, "Elemental Hero Grandman, when it destroys an opponent's monster by battle, can offer itself as a tribute to activate.
I can ignore summoning conditions and directly special summon any 'Elemental Hero' Fusion Monster!"
"No... What!?"
Mizuchi's beautiful and delicate face twisted in shock, quite like her brother's expressions of reckless arrogance.
Grandman turned into countless golden speckles and vanished from the field, holy radiance gleaming throughout the space! Silver armor flew forth, energy wings scattered light across the sky, and the ultimate Elemental Hero descended gracefully, with an invisible trail of thrusters behind.
Elemental Hero Shining Flare Wingman, summon!
[Elemental Hero Shining Flare Wingman, Attack Power 2500]
Mizuchi hesitated for a moment, then suppressed her unease, forcing herself to speak: "Ha... Haha, attack power of 2500, even if the attack goes through, I'll still have 200 Life Points left!
Seems like you can't defeat me here after all..."
"The effect of 'Elemental Hero Shining Flare Wingman,' his attack power increases by 300 for each 'Elemental Hero' in my graveyard," Youyu explained.
As he spoke, Elemental Hero cards from Youyu's graveyard manifested, floating in the air.
Absolute Zero, Nova Master, Sky Knight, Shadow Mist Girl, Captain Gold, Sparkman, Avian, and Grandman...
Totaling eight cards!
"Therefore, 'Elemental Hero Shining Flare Wingman's' attack power increases by 2400."
[Elemental Hero Shining Flare Wingman, Attack Power 2500 → Attack Power 4900]
"Attack power... four thousand nine hundred!?" Mizuchi's face involuntarily twitched.
"Elemental Hero Shining Flare Wingman, direct attack!" Youyu declared, "Shining Shoot!"
The silver-white beam shot straight ahead! This time, there were no monsters to act as walls, no back rows, the beam passed through Mizuchi's frail body without obstruction.
She cried out in agony, her body flung high, then slammed back down onto the virtual world's ground, data streams showering like sparks all around.
[Mizuchi, LP 2700 → LP 0]
